Editor's note: The Giving Spirit has been an annual feature in The Record during the holiday season for almost two decades. The stories focus on local nonprofit groups and other agencies that help those in need in our community. Over the years, the series has taken on several forms. This year, we're doing something different. We asked nonprofit leaders to tell about their agency in their own words.
